Angelina Jolie got her sons to block the door of her rehearsal room when she was training to sing like Maria Callas<\/p>\n
The \u2018Maleficent\u2019 actress stars as the iconic opera singer in the upcoming movie \u2018Maria\u2019 and spent seven months working on her vocals for the performance.<\/p>\n
She said at the Venice Film Festival where she is promoting the movie about her nerves over the role: \u201cEverybody here knows I was terribly nervous about the singing. I spent almost seven months training because when you work with (director) Pablo (Larrain) you can\u2019t do anything by half. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe demands in a most wonderful way that that you really do the work and really learn and train.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy first time singing I was so nervous that my sons were there and they helped to block the door so that nobody else was coming in.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cAnd I was shaky. Pablo in his decency started me in a small room and ended me in La Scala. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cSo he gave me a time to grow. I was frightened to live up to her and you know I had not sung in public.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nAngelina plays Maria when the singing icon was nearing death and losing her voice.<\/p>\n
\nThe opera legend is still idolised as the greatest voice in the history of opera and died in 1977 aged 53 after a spell of illness and isolation.<\/p>\n
\nAngelina\u2019s gruelling role comes as she continues to battle her \u2018Fight Club\u2019 ex-husband Brad Pitt, 60, over the custody of their six children and over the shares she sold in their Ch\u00e2teau Miraval winery in France.<\/p>\n
\nThe actress filed for divorce from \u2018Fight Club\u2019 actor Brad in 2016 and the pair were awarded joint custody of their kids by a judge in May 2021.<\/p>\n
\nAfter the ruling, Angelina decided to sell her chunk of her and Brad\u2019s vineyard, which has plunged them into an epic and complex legal battle.<\/p>\n
\nA source has told Page Six Brad is refusing to let go of the fight over the business as he sees it as an asset for his children.<\/p>\n
\nThe insider added: \u201cIt\u2019s important that people realise that Brad\u2019s motivation is to ensure that his kids can maximise the benefit of this asset.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cOnce it was sold, that\u2019s no longer the case and it significantly decreased their inheritance.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
